I’m expanding on my list of “top beliefs and values that we should be teaching our children”. In my blog, How to Raise Great Children In This World Today – Part 2, I have 18 items mentioned and now I want to go into greater detail on each of these.
One of the most important things that I...
If you’ve read, Praying Through Your Pregnancy, you found that I wasn’t always a believer. When I became pregnant, I began to seek God like never before. And out of fear and desperation I began to pray. Even though my husband was supporting me along the way, I was scared and felt all alone...
Do you often get complimented on your kids’ behavior? Can you take your children with you into a fancy restaurant and not worry that they will knock over your ice tea while reaching for the bread basket? Can you go to church and not worry about you little ones having a temper tantrum while your...
I took a little break from my blogging, but now I’m back on track. Reading over “It’s Week 41—My Baby is never Coming Out!!”, I can’t believe that “My Baby” will be 5 years old in less than a month!
And “my baby”, Micah, that I waited so long for, is now a big brother. His “little sis”...

It’s week 41, and I can hardly hold back the tears. He’s never coming out!
I was convinced I would have my baby early, well before the due date. So when my due date came and went, I was so frustrated. I couldn’t believe it! I was in shock...

I kept my calendar open this week for the baby to come. My due date was on Monday and now it’s Friday. Still there’s no sign of the baby.
What’s going on? I feel like I’m going to be pregnant FOREVER.
He was supposed to be here on the...

My doctor said the baby might come early, so I thought this was the week. My work schedule has lightened up a bit and, just in case, I warned my clients that I may have to cancel their fitness session if I went into labor.
Of course they...

They finished our new hardwood floors, and they’re beautiful. Yea! My husband can be very convincing at times. I never saw people work so hard and so fast. It was just like the remodel of our basement.
Dan called the crew every day to make...

I’m already enjoying the gifts from my baby shower last week. It was so much fun sorting through all the adorable clothes and putting them away in the baby’s dresser.
It’s been so hot lately, more than 100 degrees. I went and got a great...

My friend Claire threw me a baby shower Hawaiian style. It was the best ever!! Everything had a tropical theme, from the napkins and plates right down to the slipper mat at the front door. Everyone wore pink and white plumeria leis. Claire...

This weekend I went to another baby shower. It’s fun going to my friends’ showers, because I’m getting terrific ideas for my shower next week. But this friend is having a girl, just like my other girlfriend, and she got the cutest little...

I’m definitely on the home stretch now. Dan tells me I’m doing so well, and he’s not sure he would have handled all the physical changes as well as I have; and frankly, I have to agree. But anyway, it feels good to have a husband who...

Only nine weeks left and he’ll be here! It’s getting closer and closer, but the time seems to be creeping by slower and slower. This week, I spent hours and hours on the baby room. I was up until 3:00 a.m. painting animals on the walls. My...

I had a very busy workweek. It’s getting harder and harder to hand my clients the weights now that I’m in my third trimester. I actually have them pick up their own weights sometimes if they are too heavy for me.
Also, my feet...

I was able to get outside for walks more this week, and the exercise felt great. Something funny happened too. My friends gave me a jogging stroller for a baby gift, and since I don’t have a baby to fill it yet, for added resistance I...

Daddy Dan is nesting this week! I thought I’d be the one to nest, but it’s definitely him. He has finished the entire basement and put in a large gym where we can train our clients; he has added an office/guest room and installed a full...

A big snowfall blew in, so we made the best of it and went sledding. I was very careful and just went down the little hills, but I’m sure the baby liked it—he was kicking up a storm!
Another significant event of the week was finding our...

We hope to move Back to Hawaii one day and run our nonprofit organization called Agape Ranch, a haven for cancer patients. Our goal is to bring people from around the globe to a ranch in Hawaii for a week of learning, support, relaxation and...

Next week I get to go home to Hawaii to see my mom. I’m so excited! I know it’s special for her to see me pregnant, and she has so much wisdom to share. It will be a long flight from Denver, so I’m planning with extra care.
Recently, I...

The weather is finally getting better! I’m such a Kona girl at heart; I just hate the snow and cold. I’m getting outdoors a lot more now, and I’m loving the fresh air. I feel so much healthier when I’m in the sun a little. I can’t wait for...
